Description: Kentoo is basically the Gentoo icon set converted to the traditional KDE icon theme package. I did this because I like the way the Gentoo icons look, but thought it was a pain to use them in KDE because of the different resolutions used, and because there was no index file. Also, this set is cool because it includes a lot of apps that most sets dont, including many games. Some Icons I actually made (like the DCGUI, SuSEgo, and kmenu icons [though i didnt make "kmenu2"]). I hope many people enjoy these icons as much as I do. :-)
I'm the author of the Gentoo icons.
Yes they are just icons on a layer inside a bubble, thats all I intended them to be. I wanted icons to look a bit more consistant so I put them in a bubble. Turns out other people liked them and they became pretty popular.
Love the icon set would like to make a few new ones, don't know how to strip out one of the ones already made. If you could sent me a blank bubble, I'll share what I make.
thanks
I must say that unfortunately I dont like the ngetoo icon set because frankly, 99% of them are just existing icons pasted between the gimp layers of the "marble" xcf file.
I know because I made some of the icons in question in exactly this manner, though I didn't take existing icons (most of the time), but instead used google image search and cropped&resized what I found.
For those who like the Gentoo icouns this is a very nice thing to have though.
Have you talked with the devs about addin it to portage?
And thanks for the nice coment. I know its very similar to the Marbles set, but I like these a bit better. And I thought they deserved to be seen and used (which was hard to do in KDE without a theme like this one).

The link is broken! I have the Gentoo orginal icon set, but it can't be used as KDE icon theme. So please make this download link work.
I cannot download the file....
It's a nice Iconset, but the downloadlink doesn't work...:(
You can download the offical Gentoo Icon Set here: http://www.gentoo.org/images/icons/icons.tar.bz2
But this one is not compatible to kde icon manager. Plz correct the download link!

Looks pretty similar to Marble iconset, but I like the background colors on gentoo icons! Thanks for packaging it! Cheers!
